Chapter 418

The box Mo Li handed over contained the first generation biochip that the life and Medical Laboratory of the origin group spent countless days and nights developing.

The core technology of the biochip is DNA molecules.

Although he had already known the results, Zhou Xiao was still touched when he saw Mo Li deliver the DNA chip.

After all, DNA chips are independently developed, designed and produced by life science and medical laboratories on the basis of DNA storage. Zhou Xiao has not provided any drawings, ideas and methods for this technology.

This can be regarded as the products developed by the employees of the origin group in a self innovative way since the establishment of the group.

This product is sure to change the embarrassing phenomenon that Xia country relies heavily on western countries in the chip field, and also make Xia country's scientific and technological circles overtake in a detour, directly bypass the semiconductor crystal chip and come to the biochip field.

Mo Li smiled and said to Zhou Xiao, "do you want to test it?"

Zhou Xiao stood up and said to Mo Li, "let's go to the laboratory."

Origin Group Science Park, life medicine and biology laboratory.

The staff of the laboratory are busy with what they are doing. The biochip has just been developed and a series of tests have been completed.

Mo Li invited Zhou Xiao just to test the actual computing power of the chip, and the members of the laboratory also need to test the stability, life and durability of the chip.

Each test is related to the future application of biochip.

If the biochip is very fragile and can only run in the laboratory, it has no commercial value. It can only stay in the laboratory and contribute to scientific research as the chip used in Xia Guo supercomputer.

When the laboratory staff saw Zhou Xiao coming, they quickly put down their experiments and greeted Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao said to everyone, "I'm busy with my own business. I'll come and study."

The employees were really busy, didn't be polite to Zhou Xiao, and hurried to do their own things.

What Zhou Xiao didn't expect was that Ma Xin and Xue Ninglu were also in the laboratory. Mo Li explained: "the R & D and subsequent use of the chip often rely on the technical support of the source code group, so I had the cheek to invite President Ma."

Ma Xin quickly said politely, "Mo Li, you are so polite. We are too excited to learn that biochip technology has been put on the R & D agenda. It can be said that now any hardware technology and software technology of the source code group are up to standard, and the only difference is the chip. You don't know, every time I pick up the tassel mobile phone I use, I think it is the most creative mobile phone in the world and a revolutionary mobile phone, but I use Kirin medium and low-end chips, which makes me feel like eating a fly. "

It is found that this is actually the voice of many employees of the origin group.

Origin group has developed very rapidly in recent years. Whether it is microbial battery, DNA chip or advanced medical technology, each product is enough to change the world.

But the only thing that makes the origin group feel very constipated is that the chip technology has not been mastered in its own hands.

In the field of electronic consumption and all contemporary artificial intelligence, chip is the foundation.

Employees of origin integration can hold their heads high wherever they go in the world, except when they hear others talking about chips.

In the hearts of employees of the origin group, tassel mobile phone is the most perfect mobile phone in the world, and it is definitely a cross era mobile phone.

According to the expectations of employees of origin group, tassel mobile phone should be able to hang Samsung and apple as soon as it is released, becoming one of the most popular mobile phones in the world.

The emergence of tassel mobile phones should also close the mobile business departments of apple and Samsung, and all employees go home to sleep.

However, it is because of the chip that the tassel mobile phone is difficult to compete with apple and Samsung.

This feeling is like a beautiful woman with a charming figure of 1.7 meters. When talking to the user, the user suddenly finds that the beauty has bad breath.

It feels so bad.

Ma Xin told Zhou Xiao, "if all the tests of biochip can meet our expectations, origin group will be able to overtake in the corner of the chip. With our own chip, it will be much easier for us to produce products."

Ma Xin is also paying attention to Apple's new product launch this time. He said: "Apple's creativity is really great, but they are not in time. If we have extraordinary chip technology, we can also develop smart glasses!"

Ma Xin was very upset when he said this, because the sales data of Apple smart glasses on the first day have come out.

Twenty four hours after Apple's smart glasses went on sale, a total of 1.9 million units were sold, of which 1.1 million were eaten by Xia consumers.

This is absolutely crazy data, which far exceeds the sales of tassel mobile phones 24 hours after their release.

The last time Apple sold nearly two million products 24 hours a day, it was Apple 12 a few years ago.

However, the price of iPhone 12 is less than 10000 yuan, while the price of smart glasses is as high as 20000 or 30000 yuan. There is a significant difference in the price between the two products. The fact that 1.9 million smart glasses can be sold is enough to illustrate the strong scientific and technological nature and appeal of Apple's product, which also makes Apple fans around the world recover again.

This is not the face of Huawei and the origin group, but the face of the entire Xiaguo science and technology community.

Those netizens who often shout on the Internet that they have to buy domestic products if they want to be patriotic don't speak this time, because whether you are patriotic or not, most people with conditions go to make an appointment with apple. This is the charm of science and technology and Ma Xin is very unhappy.

What put up the shutters mobile phone, "if we make complaints about the mobile phone, we will have a long way to go."

Make complaints about the Tucao, the most important thing at this stage is to make complaints about the biochips produced in the laboratory.

Mo Li puts the chip box on the table.

The box is visible to the naked eye. It is used to protect the chip, not the chip itself. There is a very small chip in the box.

The size of the chip may be only one tenth the size of the little fingernail, which is much smaller than that of desktop computers and traditional mobile phones.

Wearing gloves and magnifying lenses on her face, Mo Li carefully took the chip out of the box and put it on sterile paper.

Mo Li told Zhou Xiao, "biochips are mainly made of biological electronic components. They use proteins with switching characteristics and protein molecules as components. Their performance is determined by the switching speed of current between components. A computer chip made of DNA has a storage point only the size of a molecule, so its storage capacity can reach one billion times that of an ordinary computer. An integrated circuit composed of proteins is only one hundred thousandth the size of a silicon integrated circuit. And it runs faster in theory, only 1 × 10 ^ (- 11) seconds, which greatly exceeds the thinking speed of the human brain. "

Zhou Xiao said suspiciously, "but at present, this chip is also visible to the naked eye."

Mo Li replied confidently, "this is because we have increased the volume of the shell material wrapping the DNA chip for the convenience of operation."

Mo Li said: "this time, for the sake of stability, the DNA chip level computing speed we developed is only 10000 times that of the fastest silicon crystal chip on the market. In the future, if the market needs, we can expand this multiple more."

Mo Li has made it very clear that if the market needs, the laboratory can make the volume of the chip small enough to be seen under a microscope. The performance can be stronger, more than 100000 times or even tens of millions of times the computing speed of the current chip.

The production of computer chips from the perspective of biology has completely opened the door to a new world.

In the traditional semiconductor field with silicon crystal as raw material, it takes great efforts of engineers to improve the computing speed of chips.

Moreover, as the technology of the chip becomes more and more precise (it has reached the 3nm level at present), Moore's law seems to fail, and human beings will touch the ceiling of the crystal chip sooner or later.

However, in the field of chips, the origin group is only a small attempt, and the technology has not been brought into full play. The performance of the chips produced easily exceeds the world's most advanced chip computing capacity at this stage.

So Mo Li said just now that the origin group is just a simple attempt to make the computing speed of the developed chip 10000 times higher than that of the fastest chip on the market. If the origin group is willing, the biochip can also be like the original toothpaste factory (Intel), as long as the Western Crystal chip technology will catch up with the biochip, Biochips can increase their computing power tenfold, which will take western companies several years to catch up.

Mo Li also explained: "because of the problem of operational logic, in the traditional chip field, CPU and GPU (graphics card chip) are done separately, but in the biochip field, we can be one."

In the field of traditional crystal chip, CPU and GPU are designed differently because they are used to deal with different tasks.

Most of the work of GPU is a large amount of calculation, but it has little technical content, and it has to be repeated many times.

As a simple example, the computing speed of GPU depends on how many primary school students are employed. The computing speed of the CPU depends on how powerful a professor is hired. Professor's ability to deal with complex tasks is good for primary school students, but for tasks that are not so complex but with a large amount, it still can't withstand a large number of people.

However, in the field of biochip, because the technical capability of biochip is super strong, CPU and GPU can be completely separated.

For a very simple example, biochip is a nouveau riche. It could have invited 100 primary school students to do the simplest calculations, but now the nouveau riche says: I have money, so I will invite 100 professors to be primary school students.

Of course.

Mo Li said, "in the field of biochip, we combine CPU and GPU into one."

When Mo Li finished this sentence.

Zhou Xiao only thought of two words - huge profits!

What a huge profit!

Intel amd has made a lot of money in producing chips, and Samsung and Qualcomm have really bad judgment in producing chips.

If you add AMD and NVIDIA, which produce graphics cards, every product in the semiconductor field is profiteering.

If the origin group can combine chips and graphics cards into one and produce products whose performance is much higher than that in today's market, what is not profiteering?

Xue Ninglu asked Mo Li, "if measured by the production process of traditional crystal chips, what kind of production process is our biochip similar to?"

Mo Li said confidently, "boss, this is not a level thing at all. Don't use the traditional crystal technology to measure our biochip. It's a matter of two different times. To put it more bluntly, biochip is a dimensionality reduction blow to crystal chip. We are a cross era product. "

Zhou Xiao nodded and said, "let's have a performance test."

Mo Li said, "in order to cater to the existing hardware facilities in the market, our performance test is divided into two parts."

"The first part is to package and process our biochip. There are some data conversion equipment on its shell packaging, so that the biochip can be adapted to the mainstream motherboard on the market at this stage."

"The second part is a separate test. The test uses our own bearing equipment, which is also equivalent to the motherboard, so that the speed of the chip can be optimized."

Ma Xin added at this time: "in fact, the laboratory is already carrying out the next experiment, that is, the combination of chip storage and battery."

The concept put forward by Ma Xin is not difficult to implement.

First of all, DNA chip and DNA storage have similarities and differences. They only need to run at two different thresholds to meet the needs of combining the two into one.

Secondly, DNA chips and DNA storage require very little energy, and what they need is not electrical energy, but biological energy. The energy solution cultured by the origin group can meet their needs.

If Ma Xin's idea is realized and the chip storage is combined into one, the volume of the device will be very small.

In such a small volume, not to mention the production of devices such as apple smart glasses, even the production of smart buttons and smart nail caps has no problem.

But the food should be eaten one mouthful at a time, and the steps should be taken step by step. At this stage, the most important thing is to stabilize the performance of the chip.

The staff took out the common motherboard on the market.

Mo Li gives the biochip to the laboratory staff, who will try to embed the chip on the motherboard.

Mo Li said: "different motherboards have different chipsets, which can adapt to different chips. We will use some switching means to make our biochip adapt to the commercial motherboard."
